1 Floor Seal Applied in 2 or more coats. Generally solvent or water borne LD > 150μm
2 Floor Coating Applied in 2 or more coats. Generally solvent free LD / MD 150 - 300μm
3 High build floor coating Applied in 2 or more coats. Generally solvent free MD 300 - 1000μm
4 Multi-layer flooring Aggregate dressed systems based on multiple layers of floor coatings or flow-applied flooring, often described as sandwich systems MD / HD > 2mm
5 Flow-applied flooring Often referred to as ‘self-smoothing’ or ‘self-levelling’ flooring and having a smooth surface MD / HD 2 - 3mm
6 Resin screed flooring Trowel-finished, heavily filled systems, generally incorporating a surface seal coat to minimise porosity MD / HD > 4mm
7 Heavy duty flowable flooring Having a smooth surface HD / VHD 4 - 6mm
8 Heavy duty resin flooring Trowel-finished, aggregate filled systems effectively impervious throughout their thickness. VHD > 6mm

LD – light foot traffic, occasional rubber tyre vehicles, MD – regular foot traffic, frequent fork lift truck traffic, occasional hard plastic-wheeled trolleys, HD – constant fork lift truck traffic, hard plastic wheeled trolleys, some impact, VHD – severe heavily loaded traffic and impact
